Do dogs shed their fur?

Yes, most dogs go through a period of shedding. The growth cycle of dog hair usually consists of two phases: the growth phase and the resting phase. During the growth phase, the dog's hair continues to grow; when it enters the resting phase, the dog's hair stops growing and begins to prepare to fall off. During this process, the old hair is replaced by new hair, forming the so-called "shedding".

The shedding process of dog hair is usually related to the season, and summer to autumn and winter to spring are the most likely times for dogs to shed. Some breeds of dogs may shed a lot of hair during the shedding period, which requires parents to clean carefully to keep the dog dry, hygienic and with good skin health.

To assist dogs in the shedding process, owners can help them remove excess hair and dead skin and keep their hair healthy and shiny by combing and bathing more often. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to giving dogs a suitable diet and supplementing necessary nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals to promote the healthy growth of their hair and the smooth process of molting.
